The objective of query optimizers is to select a good execution plan for a given query. In a distributed system, it is crucial for a query optimizer to have effective remote cost e...
Dung's abstract argumentation model consists of a set of arguments and a binary relation encoding attacks among arguments. Different acceptability semantics have been defined ...
We present practical algorithms for accelerating geometric queries on models made of NURBS surfaces using programmable Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). We provide a generalized f...
Dataflow models are often used for analysing streaming applications. The recently introduced scenario-aware extension of the synchronous dataflow model can capture the dynamism ...
The number of computational trust models has been increasing rapidly in recent years, yet their applications for automating trust evaluation are still limited. The main obstacle i...
